The whole construction and arrangement forms a very simple, strong, and convenient device for loading and unloading, moving and discharging carboys, which when filled,

are ordinarily very heavy and difiicult to handle.

It is evident that many changes may be made in the specific details of this embodiment of my invention without departing from the boundaries of my invention. as defined by the following claims;

I claim as my invention: a s

1. A carboy loader, mover and tilter comprising a. wheeled truck,'and a-rocker frame hinged. near its forward and lower end to the forwardend ofthe truck, and having rocker members on its outer side to rock on the ground, and a relatively flat-inner side to restnormally on thetruck and when swung forward to act as a rest for thecarboy.

2. A carboy loader, mover and tilter according to claim 1, in which the forward ends of the rocker members projject below the. hingedjoint to abut and act as a stop against theundersideof the truck platform- 3. carboy loader, mover and tilter according, to claim 1, in which the inner side of. the rockerframe is. provided with inwardly projecting. transversemembers toembrace the band of the carboy.

4; A carboy loader, mover and tilter according to claim 1 ,in which the rocker frame ,is constructed of a plurality of longitudinal outwardly bowedv rocker members, longitudinal members rigidly connecting the arms of the respective rocker members, transverse members rigidly connecting theends and crowns of the rocker members.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.
